The Fantom Penguin recently visited the Northern California Veterans Museum and Heritage Center near the airport in Redding. Christine Sullivan began with a brief history of this painting by a veteran whose duty as a shopkeeper did not allow him to be issued a weapon.
"He said they always felt kind of naked and vulnerable during the war and indeed he did. And so when he got back, he has a great deal of PTSD and a lot of troubles with Viet Nam and so he's painted a whole lot of different kinds of paintings to represent his feelings and emotions at that time, which has helped him to learn to live with his PTSD in general."
The museum currently displays artifacts and uniforms from every historical period of American military history and represents every branch of service.
"We tell this from the veteran's point of view and from no other view. The media is not represented very well here, although we do have papers and documents from the media, that's not our major presence. Our major presence is the veterans themselves."
"This part of the museum right now is six thousand square feet, but the main part of the museum is across the street from where we're at now and that's a seventeen acre campus. The City of Redding has been kind to donate us seventeen acres, on that seventeen acres we'll have a seven-acre Liberty Park and in that Liberty Park we'll have a memorial chapel, bell-tower and a 250-person amphitheater. The main museum is a 130,000 square foot state-of-the-art museum. It has a restaurant, event center and then we'll also have a live hanger as well on the campus so that we can bring in live aircraft and put them on static display."
"We need volunteers to do graphic artwork. We have a lot of stuff in the museum that has no nomenclature, so we would like somebody to come onboard and help us with that. We're always looking for docents. I could use anybody that has any kind of background in military history."

In the mining industry, traditional cost analysis and cost modeling have been very similar to a cookbook approach:
1) Get a mine plan from geological model
2) Select a mining method and choose a fleet size
3) Factor in labor and then plan out infrastructure for the whole operation
4) Finally, put all of that into a cost planning sheet to look at costs and revenue from the mine
Many of our customers are doing it almost exactly that way. Granted, not every mine is the same, and different variations of the cookbook apply to different mines. But the reality is, mining has changed significantly over the past few decades. New technology has made it so you can achieve the same production results with a lower number of trucks. Maybe you'll need more Capex upfront, but the lower Opex over the life of the mine makes the initial investment well worth it. More cost effective initiatives are allowing uneconomical mines to become profitable.
Dump the cookbook for a whole system approach
Now, instead of just focusing on one aspect of a mine at a time, we really have to look at the whole system. There are very smart people in the industry that understand the equipment or infrastructure side of the business, but then struggle to step back and put it all together in terms of the overall finances of the mine. Understanding what will happen in the future due to decisions made today regarding equipment and infrastructure is key. Mining engineers and finance teams have been forecasting costs since the beginning of mining. Nowadays, though, new technology allows for cost modeling much quicker than before.
We've heard from a lot of companies that one of their pain points is how time-consuming forecasting is. They'll forecast based on their current mine plan, and by the time they finish the forecast – months later – the forecast has become useless because everything has changed. A new technology like Alight will allow cost modelers to perform analysis much more quickly than they previously could, be more innovative with the way they are planning and ultimately help them make faster decisions in an industry that's traditionally moved fairly slowly.
Warfare, manufacturing and mining
One of our engineers recently spoke with a cost planning engineer based in Australia that said something that really resonated with him, and it totally makes sense why. If you look at the planning spectrum, you have war on one end, and manufacturing on the other. Manufacturing always has a plan – everything in a factory just proceeds according to the plan. When it comes to war, however, you may have a plan, and want to proceed with said plan, but once you hit the battlefield nothing ever goes accordingly. Mining is right in the middle. You have a plan, and you follow that plan as much as you possibly can until something breaks. New technologies in mining allow you to handle those breaks easily, and give you the ability to forecast and plan for them so you are able to cover yourself in case it ever happens.
Don't use a cookbook approach for cost modeling and cost analysis – equip yourself with the technology that will allow you to be better than the rest.
The Alight Mining Solutions team is built on years of mining industry experience combined with the best of the Bay Area's technological talent. Our experience spans from mining engineering to equipment to finance to metallurgy.

A Surprise Basket
Steve here: I have invited my friend, bamboo basket collector, Masamitsu Saito, to share one of his basket-related adventures with us.
Masamitsu Saito: According to the owner of the antique shop, the bamboo letter box was made during the Edo period (1603-1868AD.) The exterior was woven with various types of smoked bamboo (bamboo taken from the ceilings of farmhouses that has been colored over 200-300 years from cooking and heating) whereas the interior is a delicate, whicker-like weave with remnants of a textile still remaining. It was packaged in an old paulownia box. I was thrilled that such a modern-looking basket could have been produced during the feudal period. I bought it right away.
Later, when I was showing off my new find to a friend, a strange thing happened. A small piece of bamboo at the bottom of the basket came loose, exposing a carved inscription revealing the name of Rokansai, one of the most famous basket artists of the Taisho (1912-1926) and Showa (1926-1989) periods.
I studied the basket carefully and saw many characteristics for which Rokansai was well known. There was enough evidence to convince me that he, indeed, had been the creator of the piece. But why was a basket made by such a renowned artist sold as an anonymous piece from the Edo period? I asked myself. The answer, I suspect, is that the work was made at a time when Rokansai was still largely unknown causing a somewhat shady dealer at that time to pass it off as a much older piece in order to get a better price. It was really an outrageous thing to do; but, ironically, it benefited me. Unlike then, today a Rokansai basket is much more valuable than that of an anonymous Edo-period artist. I probably could not have bought it if it had been offered as a Rokansai piece. It would have been too expensive.
Masamitsu Saito is one of the world's foremost collectors of one-of-a-kind Japanese bamboo baskets. To see more of his collection, see http://www.takekogei.com/

Do You Know a Red Flag When You See One?
By: Sydney Palese
Posted October 29, 2013
One in five college relationships involve intimate partner abuse true or false?
Raychel Whyte, a senior health-sciences major, asked this question to a small group of college-aged women in an office decorated with posters about sexual assault and LGBT education in Montpelier Hall.
The answer was unfortunately true.
The group, led by Whyte, was training to prepare for the Red Flag Campaign, a weeklong series of awareness-raising events to educate students about intimate partner violence.
The Red Flag campaign takes place in October, which is "Intimate Partner Violence Awareness Month". According to the website theredflagcampaign.org, the annual campaign is a project of the Virginia Sexual and Domestic Violence Action Alliance, and was created by college students, college personnel, and community victim advocates.
Whyte, who is the Sexual Assault Prevention student employee through Student Wellness and Outreach (SWO), said the main goal for the JMU campus' campaign is to make people understand what the red flags for dating abuse are and how to intervene.
Another component is "bystander intervention," which she said is knowing how and when to spot these red flags. The purpose is wrapped up in a slogan that has been showing up all around campus "Say something." Red flags include sexual abuse, isolation, emotional abuse, stalking and coercion, along with visible signs of physical abuse.
Whyte said that former students in her position with Sexual Assault Prevention traditionally take on planning the Red Flag Campaign week every year; her work has been ongoing since she started the position at the beginning of the fall semester. In addition to her work with the campaign, she will also help coordinate other events like "Take Back the Night" and the "Clothesline Project".
The campaign, which took place the week of Oct. 21-25, included events like raising awareness on the commons, a bake sale, trivia and "Wear Red Day". Whyte said they got President Alger and his staff involved by wearing red.
Student volunteers for the campaign chalked the commons, hung banners and provided resident advisers with pre-made bulletin boards educating students about "red flags".
Whyte said she hopes the campaign will open doors for involvement with sexual assault awareness. Beyond the Red Flag Campaign week, she said Sexual Assault and Prevention is always seeking ways to decrease sexual violence in addition to increasing reports of sexual violence, which she said a lot of people don't do on college campuses.
"Sexual assault is something people don't talk about or understand enough," Whyte said. "Everyone is affected by it. It's important to reach out to everyone and help them understand the issue."
Whyte, who is concentrating in health assessment and promotion and carrying a minor in substance abuse prevention, hopes to work more with the issue of sexual violence and assault in the future.

Former LSU WR Odell Beckham Jr. wears a reminder to 'just smile' on his gloves
Last week, New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham proclaimed he's "not having fun anymore" playing football.
Sunday night he decided to wear a little reminder to himself on his gloves.

There isn't a better reminder than every time he looks down at his hands. While it still wasn't his greatest performance, he still more than doubled his yardage total from last week.
Maybe it's a sign of things to come, and perhaps he can start pleasing more fantasy owners too.

In 2015, Nigerians decided to say no to a government of oppression, depression and a leader who was incompetent.
16 years of misrule, maladministration and a fraudulent government, it was like the PDP charm had expired and the leaders were on a frantic mission to renew its efficacy.
The opposition party had been gaining popularity ratings, several PDP stalwarts were leaving the fold and embracing the change agenda. Their campaign promises worked like magic in the minds of people.
It was like a revolution. Almost all the streets were filled with billboards of Osinbajo and Buhari smiling in them. Promises of 5,000 naira as social security, employment opportunities, and improved electricity generation all amounting to an improved future living for Nigerians.
PDP was running, not helter-skelter though but in a zigzag direction. Several leaders left the party, some of the state party leaders were not together, the umbrella has been penetrated by rain drops. All these culminated in PDP's loss in the 2015 elections.
However, the kind of change which we all voted for in 2015 hasn't arrived yet. We've ran out of impatience, we are fed up, the suffering has become more intense.
The rich keeps enjoying, driving posh cars, eating nutritious meals, spending money lavishly while the poor is in a state of recluse, just like a dilapidated building. Even as 2019 general elections looms in less than two years, these are reasons why Nigerians might vote APC;
1. PDP Is Still Power Lustful
PDP, the main opposition party is hungry for power, seeking for it in every state. They are obsessed with it yet the party still has two factions.
Even already, the party has started making plans for 2019, holding closed door meetings with stakeholders.
However, it seems Nigerians won't be fooled this time around, the damage done by the party in their 16 years of misrule is enough to even vote KOWA in 2019.
2. We've Started Seeing Changes
Already, APC has started fulfilling its campaign promises.
From the 5,000 naira social security to the employment generation(N-Power), the country seems to be stable again.
3. APC Needs To Be Given Time
Several infrastructural projects put in place in strategic states are ongoing and it might take beyond 2019 before they are completed.
This might compel the average Nigerian to vote for them in 2019.
4. More Money Needs To Be Recovered
Remember the colossal amount of money recovered in those Lekki apartments? What about those ministers who are been probed currently for misappropriation of funds?
Some have them are still undergoing investigation and if PDP is to be voted in, it might use the EFCC to witch-hunt the Buhari-led administration and also terminate all money repatriation process.
5. 16 Years Of Agony
Every Nigerian would remember those years as a period of doom. Our oil reserves went down, the excess crude account started blinking "battery low", every Nigerian remembers this and it might take years to wipe away these sad memories.

These days, the candidates see nabobs of negativism everywhere.
At a debate this week, former Senator Bill Bradley said Vice President Al Gore had gone negative on him. Mr. Gore called that accusation a ''negative attack'' on his integrity. At a town hall meeting in Nashua on Thursday, Senator John McCain rallied the crowd with the wish that in the final week of campaigning here, ''We won't be having any negative ads.'' And in a new commercial on New Hampshire television stations, a Republican group quotes Bob Dole as saying that the attack ads in the 1996 primaries left him ''battered, bruised and broke.''
''Mr. Forbes, stop the negative ads,'' the commercial's voiceover concludes, referring to the Republican contender, Steve Forbes. ''Don't help the Democrats.''
All this talk by the candidates of how mean they are being to one another has more than a few New Hampshire voters bewildered. Given the history of truly vituperative primary campaigns here, this year's strikes a lot of people as being closer in tone to high tea than ''High Noon.''
''It's just a shadow issue,'' Dave Naughton, a political independent from Nashua who had come to Mr. McCain's meeting, said with a shrug. ''I take it for what it's worth: something they talk about.''
Suddenly, though, the candidates seem to want to talk about this all the time. It is a fixation that is rooted in the time-honored campaign tradition of spreading bad news about the other guy. The difference is that this year, the bad news they seek to spread is that it is the other guy who is spreading the bad news.Continue reading the main story
Keenly aware that voters here and across the country say they are tired of the kind of media mudslinging that has come to be known as the politics of personal destruction, strategists are expending large amounts of money and energy to convince the public that their opponents' campaigns are much more negative than they truly are. In commercials and debates, in grip-and-grin events and television interviews, the candidates and their surrogates are branding as negative comments by their foes that in other campaigns might have been dismissed with a yawn.
''It's actually a pretty sophisticated strategy,'' observed Darrell West, a professor at Brown University who studies political advertising. ''It used to be that candidates would go negative to pin negative information on their opponents. Now, what they are trying to do is play the blame game, blaming their opponent for the tenor of the campaign.''
What gives this a weird sense of disconnect for voters is that by most measures, Campaign 2000 has been about as raucous as a game of croquet.
''By and large, the candidates have been remarkably issue-based,'' said Brad Rourke, director of the Project on Campaign Conduct, a nonprofit group in Camden, Me., that seeks to establish guidelines for civility in campaigns. ''You read the papers and it sounds as if what they are having are really tough issue debates.''
Of course, things could get truly nasty in a hurry. The New Hampshire primary has a not-so-proud tradition of mean-spirited advertising on the last weekend of the campaign; most infamously, there was the advertisement put on the air in 1988 by Vice President George Bush that labeled Mr. Dole ''Senator Straddle'' for refusing to sign a pledge not to raise taxes, a spot that helped doom Mr. Dole's candidacy here. And in the last couple of days, various campaigns have been playing cat and mouse with one another, threatening to more broadly criticize their opponents and even broadcast the dreaded attack ads -- but only, of course, if their rivals do so first.
''If they say something inappropriate to us,'' declared William Dal Col, Mr. Forbes's campaign manager, ''we've got material prepared to be delivered to level the playing field.''
But even Mr. Forbes, whose attacks on Mr. Dole on the airwaves in New Hampshire four years ago were some of the most vicious the state had ever seen, is pulling his punches, running commercials that illustrate his positions on economic issues. The campaign, in fact, has run only one spot that might be viewed as negative, in which an anti-tax advocate from Texas criticizes Governor Bush for his tax policies.
Mr. Dal Col complained that in the current climate, the impact of such spots -- well within the boundaries of fairness, in his view -- is muted by the loud, righteous protests from the other side. ''Any time you talk about his record, they spin it as negative,'' he said. ''Here is a constituent who says Bush broke his tax pledge. But they want no debate, so they do the negative thing by accusing us of being negative.''
Ari Fleischer, a spokesman for the Bush campaign, scoffed at the idea that Mr. Bush was the aggressor. ''I think the voters make a rather informed judgment on who is negative and who is positive,'' he said.'' ''That's one of the reasons Steve Forbes is having so much difficulty gaining any traction.''
Political campaigns are built to take the pulse of public sentiment and play to some popular rhythm, and that may partly account for how voguish it is at the moment to portray the opposition as negative. For negative is highly out of fashion. In a poll of 800 adults across the nation in November by Mr. Rourke's organization, nearly 80 percent said they believed attack-oriented campaigns produced leaders who were ''less ethical and less trustworthy.''
The poll found, Mr. Rourke said, that while ''it's bad to be attacked, it's worse to be perceived as an unfair attacker.''
That may help to explain why so many of the harsher commercials that have made it to the airwaves this year have been sponsored by third-party groups. Organizations as diverse as the Sierra Club, the National Abortion Rights Action League and Americans for Tax Reform have run spots here focusing on one candidate or another. The most tactically sophisticated, however, has been a series of spots run by the Republican Leadership Council, including the new advertisement with the words of Mr. Dole, that has been designed to head off any attempt by Mr. Forbes to go negative.
Mark Miller, the council's executive director, said the group began running the spots in November. ''I think everyone in the party felt he went way too hard last time and did lasting damage,'' Mr. Miller explained. ''We wanted to tell him in an ad, warning him not to go down that road again.''
Of course, such a spot has another function, reminding viewers that this was a candidate prone to go on attack. Voters may simply tune a lot of this out; Mr. McCain, for instance, always gets applause when he mentions his disdain for attack ads, but virtually never a follow-up question. Yet to some monitoring the candidates' behavior closely, even the accusations of negativity have a corrosive effect.
''Frankly, developments in the past week have disturbed me,'' said the Rev. C. Welton Gaddy, executive director of the Interfaith Alliance, a nonsectarian organization based in Washington that promotes ethical conduct. In December, the group persuaded five candidates -- Messrs. Bush, McCain, Bradley and Gore and Senator Orrin G. Hatch -- to sign what it called the ''Framework of Civility for Presidential Candidates,'' in which they agreed, among other things, to not run commercials that vilified their opponents.
Now, Mr. Gaddy worries that with all the claims of attack, the atmosphere of civility is endangered. ''We have moved to the edge of a precipice,'' he said, ''and I hope we take a step back.''Continue reading the main story

On page Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) can become rather tedious but you can use a WordPress SEO plugin to do much of the work for you. In fact, many business owners are opting for HTML to WordPress conversion. WordPress is an amazing tool, I use it on so many websites, I really would be at a loss without it, but what one of the things that makes it so great is the over whelming amount of plugins that are available.
The next good reason to convert is the search engine ranking. gs grid-based layout samples. org files to my web site. These two themes are 'WordPress Classic' and 'WordPress Default' chances are you've seen them on a million different blogs and they both leave a lot to be desired.
There are two versions of Formidable Pro, free and paid. The easiest way to this is through a program called phpMyAdmin inside the webserver's control panel. After you have decided to submit music to blogs that feel like a right fit for you, it is then time to work on a simple, yet professional email that will help you sell yourself to the reader/listener.
I am using the SEOPressor plugin which is a bit different from other WordPress SEO Plugins in that it runs each time you or a page or post and checks the on page SEO. This causes the problem that online sites like Google sometimes don't index all your websites and possibly missing out on crucial webpages and if people are seeking specific information they won't find your page on Google so you reduce the chance to attract new visitors to your website. . This great WordPress plugin makes it so easy to back up your WP database, and even optimise and repair it too. Are you ready to your website? We can help.

Listen To Champs Élysées
(Rated 4.80/5.00 from 28 ratings.)
Hear The Audio NOW
Quick Overview of Champs Élysées
You simply cannot visit Paris without going to the Champs Elysées! It's the most beautiful and famous avenue in the world (la plus belle avenue du monde as the French say), let alone Paris, so you cannot possibly miss it.The Avenue des Champs Elysées is lined with horse-chestnut trees, and filled with expensive boutiques, cinemas and eateries. It is also home to historical landmarks such as the Arc de Triomphe and Place de la Concorde.
Champs Elysées Pronunciation
The pronunciation of Champs Elysées only looks tricky. French has a tendency to link spoken words in certain circumstances (this is called liaison), and Champs Élysées is an example - which is why the phonetic spelling looks like one word.
Champs Elysées Meaning
'Champs' is French for 'fields', and 'Élysées' means 'Elysian', so you translate 'Champs Élysées' as the 'Elysian Fields'. In Greek Mythology, 'Elysian' refers to an idyllic place in the after-life, which is where you may well find yourself when you get your credit card bill after a day spent indulging there.
What to do and see on the Champs Elysées
Even if you are only going to do window-shopping (called lèche-vitrine, or 'lick window' in French - the audio pronunciation is easy to follow), it's still fun to browse the expensive boutiques. If any of the shop assistants descend on you to ask if you need help, you can always reply with a smile and 'Non, merci, je fais du lèche-vitrine'. Watch out for the Louis Vuitton flagship, Guerlain, Lacoste and Cartier if you are more interested in French brands, or cast your eye on the Disney flagship store, and international brands such as Banana Republic, Abercrombie & Fitch, H&M and more.
If you can, try to at least have a snack or a coffee at one of the famous cafés on the Champs Elysées, such as Fouquet's or Café George V. It's expensive and crowded, but it's worth it for the experience and the people watching judging by the majority of reviews. Most important is to proceed to Ladurée, and enjoy a proper French macaron in one of the most opulent bakeries you will ever see. There is audio pronunciation of Fouquet's and Café George V is on this page, but if you need a little more help, the phonetic spelling follows:
The pronunciation of Fouquet is foo:keh
Café George V is pronounced kah:fay zhorzh sa~k

- They are as open (or more so) than Android.
- They have significant organizations behind them.
- They are flexible. While phones and tablets are not going away anytime soon, new areas, such as TVs, game consoles, watches, and 50 things not announced yet, are the areas of big growth. Microsoft, Apple and Blackberry do not have business models amenable to that sort of usage. This means that the overall ecosystem is growth limited for those platforms.
Here's a related article today:
Nokia's cheap $20 (and profitable) cell phone
This phone runs none of these operating systems, but it does show why Microsoft's Windows Phone 8 business model is nigh impossible to work long term. The simple truth is that significant (Android) smartphones are already available sub-$100. It will not be long before a $20 phone is capable of running one of these smartphone OSes.

On Sunday morning we come together for a time of celebration as we worship together and explore the Bible.
You are invited to join us for authentic, passionate worship and refreshing, insightful teaching.
After the service you can expect refreshments and a time to build relationships with others who are part of our church family.
Our ministry among the elderly folk of Brandon is mainly within the care homes.
The sheltered accommodation has approx 32 flats. Every week 4 of us spend the morning there providing hot sausage rolls, tea/coffee. and cakes. We then have a fun time with a quiz and a lot of chatting. Once a month a group of us enjoy a short service with plenty of singing and a brief word.
We also cook a meal at Christmas which other residents are invited to. At Easter we buy fish and chips for anyone who would like to join us. Another good time enjoying their company.
The residential care home invites us to take a service three times a year – Easter, Harvest and Christmas. It is always good to chat to the residents and hear their stories from years ago.
It is a privilege to spend time with these folk and present the gospel to them.
Part of the vision of The Harvest Centre has always been to create a place where people could come and receive the Healing power of Christ into their lives.
All over the world God has inspired people to open up Healing Rooms as a place of refuge where the sick and troubled can come to be healed.
When Jesus walked among us 2,000 years ago He healed everyone who came to Him. Today He is with us by His Spirit and is still healing people.
Here at Healing Rooms Of Brandon we have seen some wonderful miracles of healing since we opened in 2005.
When you come in for an appointment you will receive prayer from one of our healing teams who will minister to you the healing power of Christ by the laying on of hands. Healing sometimes can come instantly or can be a process of recovery over a period of time, but we believe that at every prayer session you will receive a powerful touch from Jesus.
All ministry is sympathetic, caring and confidential. There is no cost at all.! (This is not a counseling ministry.)
HEALING ROOMS OF BRANDON is located in "The Harvest Centre", and we are open for appointments every Thursday evening from 7.30 – 9.00 pm.
To make an appointment for the Healing Rooms, please phone Jenny Thurman on 07561-260079 or e-mail email@example.com

Canadian doctors are sounding the alarm over a restrictive abortion pill access program that requires them not only to prescribe the drug but dispense it as well.
Last year, after one of the longest drug approval processes on record, Health Canada agreed to allow doctors to begin prescribing the home abortion pill Mifegymiso, more commonly known as RU-486, as of July 1 this year.
However, under a restricted drug access program, only registered doctors who complete a certified, online training program will be allowed to prescribe and dispense Mifegymiso. It won't be possible for women to get the drug from a pharmacist.
Too cumbersome for doctors
These restrictions will be too difficult for family doctors in rural and remote communities who do not have experience maintaining the supply and distribution of pharmaceuticals, argue women's rights activists.
"Most family physicians we've spoken to don't have any mechanism to sell drugs to their patients," Dr. Wendy Norman of the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada told CBC News in a recent interview.

Dr. Etty Terem, associate professor of history, was invited by Harvard Divinity School to speak at its conference on scholarship in Muslim Africa. The conference brought together 24 specialists Feb. 16-18 drawn from multiple disciplines in the social sciences and the humanities. Terem presented a talk titled "Redefining Islamic Orthodoxy: Fatwas and Anxieties of Moroccan Modernity."
In addition, her article "Consuming Anxieties: Mobility of Commodities Across Religious Boundaries in Nineteenth-Century Morocco" has been published in a special issue of Journal of the Economic and Social History of the Orient 60:1 (2017).

She still doesn't get it. "I don't do blame," asserted Sharon Shoesmith, who last week won her case at an Employment Tribunal Court of Appeal that she had been unfairly dismissed from her £133,000 post as director of children's services for Haringey council following the death of Baby P.
"I'm not in the blame game," she reiterated on Saturday's Radio 4's Today programme, adding: "You cannot stop the death of children."
Certainly no one stopped the death of Baby P; his life was short and loveless.
When 18-month-old Peter Connelly was found dying in his cot, on August 3 2007, his skin was blue, his back broken, his ribs fractured, the tips of his fingers sliced off and his nails ripped out. He was wearing just a nappy; his cot was spattered with blood. As paramedics tried to rush him to hospital, his mother, Tracey Connelly, demanded they wait while she collected her cigarettes.
Within 24 hours the perpetrators had been identified. Connelly, her boyfriend Stephen Barker and his brother Jason Owen were all arrested, convicted of charges relating to Peter's death and imprisoned. The process was as swift and conclusive as British justice allows.
But, even before the trio were locked up, the then Children's Secretary Ed Balls decided the system of care that had failed so spectacularly must also be investigated.
A subsequent Serious Case Review made for shocking reading: Peter's death was not just tragic, it was avoidable. There had been a "catalogue of failures": seen 60 times by medics and social workers; placed on the Child Protection Register; Peter had even been removed from his mother's custody on several occasions. Meanwhile, her attempts to deceive professionals were crude and obvious; bruises were covered with smears of chocolate before one trip to the GP.
A further Ofsted investigation discovered that Peter's case, while extreme, was not so unusual; children's services in Haringey were a mess. Clearly, heads had to roll.
When Balls sacked Mrs Shoesmith, his action appeared fair (though she claims it was a political sop). It was natural justice against a highly paid executive in charge of a deeply flawed department, where poor leadership didn't just result in a waste of council funds but an actual life lost.
Moreover, Mrs Shoesmith was unpopular at large; ever since Baby P's death, she had refused to take responsibility for the event. Television footage was not kind; perhaps she was following legal advice, but Mrs Shoesmith never showed emotion in public once. Her mouth pursed, her body language unreadable, she consistently put forward the view that, while Peter's death was regrettable, it was pointless to apportion blame beyond the immediate perpetrators. She would not be made a scapegoat.
Now, four years on, rather than letting Peter Connelly rest in peace, she has dragged up his tragedy, and somehow made it her own. Because what seems to distress Mrs Shoesmith most is how very unfair the whole sorry saga has been on her. "I cannot control what Police do, I cannot control what Health does… this is more complex than saying let's sack you and the psyche of the nation can be at peace," she was swift to point out.
But, as a nation, we need resolution. The violent death of a child is a stain on the whole community. Peter did not die after 18 months of isolation: he was seen by medics, social workers, police officers, neighbours, the public. Many averted their eyes. For Peter, the Good Samaritan didn't stop.
His tragedy belongs to all of us. To anyone who votes or pays a tax bill. Or sees a small child, with chocolate not quite hiding his bruises in the doctor's waiting room and didn't ask what was happening.
That doesn't exonerate Mrs Shoesmith. She was the highest point of command in the chain of children's services. She gets paid more than a Cabinet minister; so yes, you take the blame when things go wrong, Mrs Shoesmith.
But her lack of empathy suggests a deeper dissociation. She is unable to see that, even as a fellow human being, she bears responsibility for his plight. When a child like Peter dies from a preventable cause, we mourn the loss of individual hope, and the collective notion of society's innocence. But we must also learn from our mistakes and understand that accepting responsibility is not the same as admitting guilt. Fail to do this and we fail the future.
Sharon Shoesmith should have fallen on her sword, not waited to be sacked. But having been dismissed she should have retreated – not into hiding, but into a period of reflection from where perhaps she could have worked to improve children's services rather than abandon them. Instead, to choose years of legal action (the success of which seems to hinge on legal technicalities rather than a suggestion of blush-free innocence; the Ofsted finding has been upheld) seems bordering on the self-obsessed. A potential windfall of compensation, estimated at close to £1 million, verges on the obscene. Yet she has made it clear she intends to pursue this.
Four years after a small boy was slowly tortured to death on her watch, Mrs Shoesmith still doesn't get it. You can prevent the death of a child. And, if you are head of the department tasked to stop it, when you fail, there is no one else to blame.

Tesco Are Scrapping The 5p Carrier Bag Option!
7 August 2017, 15:06
You'll now only be able to find 10p 'Bags for Life' at the supermarket.
We remember all too well when the 5p carrier bag charge was introduced in 2015.
The rule was enforced in favour of encouraging customers to reuse their carrier bags to reduce waste and the negative impact they were having on the environment.
Since the charge was introduced Tesco has sold over 700 million carrier bags of both the 5p and their 10p 'Bag For Life' variety.
But be prepared because as of the 28th August you'll no longer be able to buy 5p versions to encourage people to save their 'Bags For Life' rather than buying more plastic bags each time they come into store.
The initial charge dropped bag sales by 25% and by banning the single use 5p bags altogether this could reduce bag sales even further forcing us to live greener.

It doesn't sound like a bad idea to us!
The new rules are coming into place following successful 10-week trials in Aberdeen, Dundee and Norwich and are rolling out nationwide at the end of the month.
Matt Davies, UK and ROI CEO at Tesco, said: "The number of bags being bought by our customers has already reduced dramatically.
"Today's move will help our customers use even fewer bags but ensure that those sold in our stores continue to fund thousands of community projects across the country chosen by customers."

Lion provides picture framing supplies to businesses that range from one man operations to large manufacturers. They spotted that online sales is a huge opportunity for them and approached Square Circle to redesign their website so that it offered a smooth, consistent user experience across mobile and desktop devices.
Lion has been trading for nearly 40 years in an industry that by nature does not embrace new technology; customers are loyal and have developed a solid business relationship with Lion over the years. Typically sales staff are able to offer unique discounts on an individual basis for specific ranges or products. A previous attempt to combine this offline flexibility with modern online business practices resulted in a mass of business rules leading to an over-complex user experience. The firm identified that having a strong ecommerce platform would differentiate them from their competition and allow them to dominate the UK online market but understood that in order to do so they would need help in rethinking their website.
We recognised that Lion had a diverse customer base, with differing levels of online experience and in order to understand the segments in more detail we ran workshops with the Lion management team to distil their market into core personas. We then sought the opinions of real customers through online surveys and telephone interviews whilst benchmarking the Lion site against its competitors through heuristic evaluation and reviewing Google Analytics statistics.
The resulting data was examined and the findings used by the UX team whilst planning the site's architecture and drawing page wireframes. Meanwhile the design team created a visual language that could be used across the site, providing consistent calls to action and product elements.
The new designs and structure were used by our development team to build the site's HTML interface before handing the files over to Lion's own developer who integrated them into the website CMS. The new look and feel of the website not only presents Lion as a modern, online business but also maintains the heritage of the brand. It takes users on a journey where calls to action are clear and the online shopping experience is streamlined. New customers can easily sign up and existing customers can transfer their accounts to an upgraded system designed to carry on Lion's traditions of personal service.
If you have a brilliant business idea and want to see it fly... talk to us.

23 December 2011 I bought door handles. They are really good, unfortunately the screws are not. They are impossible to... screw and I had to buy proper ones from a DYI shop Dor handles were affordable and they look good. They are good quality too. Instructions were very clear and easy to follow. Delivery was prompt. However, I was disappointed by the screws that came with the handles. They were too "soft" and the line in the middle of the head was not deep enough, making it impossible to screw them. I had to supply proper brass screws from the local DYI shop.

Robbery in Illinois
Robbery is similar to burglary. Robbery is the taking of property from another person, by means of force or fear. The key difference between robbery and burglary is the use of force or fear. For example, if you went to the store and grabbed money from the register when no one was looking, in Illinois you would likely be charged with burglary. However, if you told the cashier that you had a gun to entice them to give you the money, then in Illinois you would likely be charged with robbery.
What is aggravated robbery and armed robbery?
Aggravated robbery is where there is not only force or fear but a statement or suggestion that you have a weapon or gun. Armed robbery is wear a weapon is actually used.
What is the possible punishment for these crimes?
The possible punishments for these types of cases will vary from case to case depending on the circumstances. Typically, robbery is a class 2 felony carrying a prison term of 2 to 7 years unless it was in a school zone or place of worship which will make it a class 1 felony carrying a prison term of 4 to 15 years.
Aggravated robbery is punishable by a prison term of 4 to 30 years but again, it depends on the circumstances. Likewise, armed robbery is punishable by a prison term of 6 to 30 years but if someone is hurt or killed in the process of the robbery, it can be up to 60 years.
What are some circumstances that would change the sentencing?
Circumstances that could affect sentencing include whether the robbery was part of a home invasion, whether a motor vehicle was taken, the age of the victim or whether the victim was physically handicapped and, as mentioned above, whether there was threat of use of a weapon or actual use of a weapon as well as whether the act was done in a school zone or house of worship.
Advice on hiring a lawyer
There is no such thing as the "best" robbery defense attorney in Chicago, Peoria, Waukegan or wherever your case is. You need to find the best lawyer for your case. This usually means hiring an attorney whose main practice focus is criminal defense and also it means a lawyer who can show a track record of defending similar cases. If you have a charge that can put you in jail for years like robbery, your life is pretty much on the line. You need to have an attorney in your corner who will fight to get the best possible result for you.
People come to us to find out who the right attorney is for their unique case. If you would like our help in finding an attorney or have any general questions, please contact us at (312) 346-5320. All inquiries are confidential.

5 Tips for Interacting with People You Admire on Twitter
Twitter is quickly becoming the latest and greatest trend for careerists to communicate with people they admire in the workforce. Plenty of professionals boast that it's more personal and directed than LinkedIn, and you can probably learn a lot more about a person from his or her Twitter feed than most places on the web.
But of course, one major question comes to mind: What exactly does it mean to "communicate' with someone on Twitter—and how can you do so without coming on too strong?
Though a response isn't always guaranteed, there are a couple of things you can do to really get influencers talking. ...

Not to mention, but there are many ways in the way many people express themselves. Some will do something extreme, while some other will do another different thing like something calming. Then how about you? If you are a typical person who loves to show yourself through the accessories that you wear, then you must love the idea to wear Chopard Replica Watches.
Don't you underestimate this watch just because the addition of replica on it, since when it comes to Chopard Replica, it is equivalent with fine quality. Chopard watch as one from some world class brand for watches, you may know that to tame the beauty of this watch, you will need much money. And yes, when it comes to it, lucky for the riches, since not all people can afford it.
But, in fact, for those who can't get the original one, Replica Chopard that is sold by Watch Store through its site can be a good alternative for those male and female who love something classy but not that pricey for their timepiece. Since, this watch replica has almost one hundred percent identical to its original piece; it is guaranteed that everyone will think that you wear the original unless they have a super eye.

Observations on Employee Ownership
Act First, Train Later
Corey Rosen
May 2, 2011
Companies trying to create an ownership culture often start by setting up some kind of training program designed to educate employees about what it means to be an owner. The financial opportunity of the ownership plan is discussed; the CEO or other leader talks about how if people work harder and smarter, the stock value will go up; maybe even someone is brought in to provide some initial training in team building. Companies that take it even more seriously may do something more elaborate, such as an off-site meeting or even a retreat replete with team-building exercises designed to show people the value of working together and trusting one another.
An acquaintance of mine worked for years for the Air Force in organizational management. He led a research project into off-site team building programs for senior officers. They came back from their outings (often out in the wilderness) enthused about the virtues of mutual trust and working together as equals. But their jobs did not have structures in place to use these skills. There were no existing work teams, and, even if they set them up, there were no procedures to establish what authority the teams should have. After a few weeks, things settled back to where they were before.
I think a far better approach is to start acting first. Set up some work teams and give them some goals and authority to make decisions to meet them. Or, better yet, let them set their own goals. Some of the teams will flounder; some will succeed. That's fine. Over time, you'll get an idea of what works. Once people are acting in the teams, and probably finding some barriers, then it's time to bring in the training on team dynamics. Now people will be primed to learn and, better, there will be a structure in place to use what they have learned.
Think of how you learn software. Do you start with a training course? A few people do, and it works for them. But most people start using the software, have some successes and some failures, and then start asking a knowledgeable person for help. They may then even consider going to a training course on how to use the software better. Doing the same thing with employee involvement will make your training programs a lot more effective and a lot less expensive.

Ripped from today's headlines comes the wildest trip of a mystery novel you'll ever read.
The Burning Man Festival, held each summer on a remote salt flat in Nevada, brings together artists, radicals, technophiles, and madmen for a weeklong extravaganza of creative anarchy where half-ton robots rub elbows with wizards shooting firebolts. Each year, Burning Man ends with the ceremonial burning of The Man, a 40-foot-tall statue. Except this year. Someone torched The Man four days early.
For forensic software debugger Thom Takahashi, volunteering to help track down the arsonist was just part of Burning Man's spirt of collaboration. Others were good at building things; they could remake The Man in time for the final night's rituals. Thom was good at finding things, so why not pitch in? When a "conceptual artist" in red and black facepaint claiming to be the culprit turns herself in, Thom can't shake the feeling that the clues point away from her, not towards her.
And then, when an affable roboticist is found hanging in his tent, an apparent suicide, Thom begins to realize he may be on the trail of something much bigger—and deadlier—than a mere arson. It could be mysterious government agents with a vendetta against Burning Man, or a group of medieval reenactors gone mad, or maybe hidden amongst the body modifications and costumes, there really are space aliens wandering around the playa.
Whoever's behind it, Thom has only a few days to search the kinematic sculptures and homebrew robots to determine which of them is really an instrument of mass violence in disguise. As the desert sun beats down ferociously and a cocktail of unknown hallucinogens works its way through his system, he must race against time to distinguish reality from artifice and friend from freak. Because if he doesn't, the next one to be burned might just be him.

Loebsack tours Fagen Elevator
U.S. Congressman Dave Loebsack (D-IA) spent an afternoon on Monday, Sept. 18 visiting
with constituents across southeast Iowa, and one of his stops was in Keota at the Fagen
Loebsack spoke extensively with Larry Fagen about the process of grain storage and the
current state of the agriculture business as they walked together through the facility, joined by
District Representative Bri Dennison and Ryan Fagen.
"I've been to grain elevators before, but it was great to hear more about how the
process works, such as buying and selling the grain and hearing about pricing fluctuates up and
down," Loebsack said. "This is a competitive industry. [Fagen] doesn't have any one corner in
the market. He sells a lot to ethanol plants and competing with other folks around the area
doing the same thing."
Congratulations were also in order as Fagen Elevator recently celebrated 100 years in
business. Loebsack wished the best for Fagen and his family's business. For more, pick up the Keota Eagle at your nearest newstand.

Transition to Retirement
A Transition to Retirement Pension is an income stream from your SMSF that you can commence if you've reached preservation age (currently 55) and are still working. With a Transition to Retirement you may be able to reduce your working hours without reducing your income. This can be done by topping up your part-time income with a regular 'income stream' from your SMSF.
Until recently, you could only access your SMSF balance once you turned 65 or retired. This meant it was difficult to reduce your working hours and still maintain your standard of living. Transition to Retirement allows you to withdraw some of the your SMSF balance annually.
How does a Transition to Retirement work?
You will have two accounts within your SMSF. Once you reach preservation age, you can elect to have a Transition to Retirement income from your SMSF.
If you're 55 you have to take an income of between 4% – 10% (3% minimum for the year 2013) of this Transition to Retirement balance. The first year of the Transition to Retirement is calculated on a pro-rata basis, using the days in the year. The percentage of income withdrawn from the balance can be compounded within the same year. See an example below:
A Trustee reaches the preservation age of 55 and wishes to commence a Transition to Retirement and he has $100,000 in the SMSF account. He withdraws 10% from the balance, leaving $90,000 in the Fund. In the same year, he can withdraw another 10% of the remaining balance of $90,000.
How do you activate a Transition to Retirement?
The Trustees of the SMSF are responsible for starting the Transition to Retirement. When you start the Transition to Retirement, you must minute your decision (here is a template for these minutes)Transition to Retirement template
and send a copy of the minutes to Superannuation Warehouse via email.
Tax consequences in the SMSF
Starting from 1 July 2017, all Transition to Retirement income will be taxed at a rate of 15%. This is new change made in the 2016-2017 Federal Budget.
Tax on the Transition to Retirement income received from the SMSF
If you're over 60, the income you receive in the form of pension payments from your SMSF is tax free in your hands. If you're between the ages of 55 and 60, this Transition to Retirement income should be included in your personal taxable income.
Payments cannot be lump sums
You just have to ensure that you withdraw at least the minimum specified percentages as Transition to Retirement payments over the year.
Minimum Drawdown Amount
Depending on your age, you are obliged to withdraw a minimum amount from the Transition to Retirement balance each year. At the start of the year, calculate the market value of the Transition to Retirement. The minimum draw down is dependent on your age. See the preservation age table below for the percentages.
|55 – 64
|65 – 74
|75 – 79
|80 – 84
|85 – 89
|90 – 94
Due to the global financial crisis, these minimums were temporarily halved for the financial years between 2009 and 2011. This was referred to as minimum pension drawdown relief.
PAYG Registrations
An SMSF must register for PAYG when a Transition to Retirement is started. You can download the ATO guidance on TTR for SMSF's below:TTR ATO Guidance
Access the ATO website to view the PAYG withholding calculator.
You can view the sample form for the PAYG Payment Summary – Pension Income Stream and the Instruction Guide on how to complete the PAYG form as described by the Tax Office. To download the PAYG Summary – Superannuation Income Stream form, please click here.
You can also view our example for the PAYG Payment Summary and the Calculation for the tax withheld.
More information
To find out more about Transition to Retirement income streams, visit the ATO website by clicking here. Alternatively, you can watch the video below.
Our understanding is that once a Member has satisfied a condition of release, the TTR will automatically revert to an Account Based Pension provided that the Trust Deed or the Minutes to Commence a TTR supporting the pension provide for this. The Minutes to Commence a TTR template above allows for the automatic reversion of a TTR to an Account Based Pension without the need for another minute.

SOURCE: Unidine Corp.
February 05, 2015 08:30 ET
BOSTON, MA--(Marketwired - February 05, 2015) - Unidine Corporation®, the fastest growing food and dining management services company in the country, announced today that it has completed the acquisition and integration of Boston-based FAME Food Management, Inc. for an undisclosed sum. The acquisition extends Unidine's services into the government and education sectors, adding to the company's growing foothold in healthcare, senior living and corporate dining.
The addition of FAME, as well as new healthcare clients like Northeast Georgia Health System and Franciscan Hospital for Children, contributed to Unidine's 24 percent growth in 2014, with sales reaching $250 million. As the first food management services company to commit to exclusive use of fresh ingredients and scratch cooking, Unidine is poised to capitalize on growing demand for culinary excellence in the $44.8 billion food service management industry.
FAME's portfolio of clients in Massachusetts, Washington, D.C. and Maryland includes the U.S. Government Publishing Office, Transportation Safety Administration, the John Carroll School, Mass Bay Community College and Bristol Community College. "FAME's market and geographic penetration, along with a shared commitment to exceptional service and customized culinary experiences, serve as a perfect complement to Unidine's expanding portfolio," explained Richard Schenkel, Unidine's founder and CEO. "We are laser focused on revolutionizing what was once simply known as institutional dining to meet the expectations of today's consumers while serving our clients' business objectives."
Unidine's growth has been fueled by a model called Lead With Dining℠ that supports customer acquisition, brand expression and employee recruitment strategies while containing expenses. Healthcare and purchasing executives are discovering that scratch cooking is generally a more cost effective model that also supports the local economy by facilitating collaboration with local farmers, bakeries and fish mongers, and local purchasing collaboratives.
"The real value in outsourced services comes when the relationship is strategic. This is a win-win solution whose time has come," Schenkel said, adding that he hopes the Unidine approach will eventually revolutionize food management services beyond his company's reach.
In 2014 Unidine served 32 million meals across 20 states and employed approximately 4,200 people. FAME Culinary Group will continue to operate as a separate corporate entity in the Unidine portfolio, which now includes a Healthcare Culinary Group, Senior Living Culinary Group and Corporate Culinary Group.

Garth Rattray | Better safe than sorry
Once again, Jamaica was spared catastrophe from a major weather phenomenon. This was the closest in recent memory. Hurricane Matthew was more powerful than the legendary Hurricane Gilbert. The possible loss of life, property, infrastructure, crops, industry and earnings could have been devastating.
Hurricane Matthew followed a predicted path (albeit rather slowly) until it tracked away from us and towards Haiti. We were bracing ourselves for a Category Four or Five monster that would strip roofs, dismantle buildings, level hillsides, rip up roadways, destroy crops, halt commerce, disrupt communications, cut electricity, inundate rivers, dislocate, maim and kill our citizens. But, instead, we got cloudy skies, a few whispering winds, some storm surges and fairly brief, scattered rainfall. The only traumatic loss of life during that time was from criminal activity - a perennial, shameful, embarrassing and unnatural disaster of no mean order.
Many Jamaicans have become overconfident and feel almost invulnerable. Some believe that their earnest prayers have been saving Jamaica from certain disaster. But that doesn't explain why that same merciful God would slam the Category Four hurricane into Haiti - a poor and suffering nation, still trying to slowly recover from an unbelievably devastating earthquake that occurred six years ago. So prayers alone can't explain our good fortune.
I don't know if it's prayers, good luck, high-pressure systems, steering winds, air currents or the unpredictable and ever-changing internal mechanics of the weather systems that turn their eyes away from us, but we must be grateful for mercies. My concern is that our citizens will never take meteorological bulletins serious in the future.
We know that the behaviour of storms can only be predicted based on patterns (models) that take into account the prevailing weather conditions. The international and local meteorological offices did excellent work in not only forecasting the track and power of the disturbance but also in communicating their findings and predictions. Those who criticised the Met Service and suggested that it issued panicked and erroneous information were either extraordinarily silly or incredibly ignorant.
The Government did wonderful work during the threat. Special kudos to the Office of Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Management (ODPEM). The body issued disaster-preparedness tips, activated full (Level Three) response and opened emergency shelters in good time. I wholeheartedly agree with Local Government Minister Desmond McKenzie for standing firm on the Government's decision to maintain a high level of disaster preparedness even when the hurricane was predicted to move so far away from us that we were threatened by storm-force, instead of hurricane-force, conditions. The Government decided that it is far better to be safe than sorry.
Now that we have emergency response on the right path, we need to be far more proactive when it comes to foul weather preparedness. We always hurriedly clean gullies and storm drains from debris, garbage and overgrown vegetation whenever we are under threat. But we need to embark on an effective and sustainable, regular maintenance schedule for keeping those storm waterways clear at all times. Not only will that require manual work, it will require structured surveillance 'upstream' for things that can, and will, end up in the drains and gullies whenever there is heavy rainfall.
And, we must be much more proactive and zero-tolerant when it comes to pollution. Many gullies accumulate mounds of refuse that point to their origin on the banks. Those structures should be removed; it is illegal to build anything that close to gully banks, but the powers that be always give their political base a free pass when it comes to matters such as these.
We must increase our vigilance regarding building projects that obstruct the free flow of storm water, (illegal) sidewalk structures, discarded motor vehicle shells and appliances. We must spend the time, effort and money to help prevent refuse and debris from clogging our drainage systems and polluting our waters, or we will end up spending a lot more to deal with the loss of life, property and livelihood.
Being safe is not confined to rapid and sensible emergency response, it involves preventing the things that can make us sorry over the short and long term.
